BOLD PREDICTION: we won't like which ever coach is chosen.
Question: Should we go for a high floor, or a high ceiling?
BOLD PREDICTION: we won't like which ever coach is chosen.
Brohm was definitely on my short list before as the next "maybe SOS type OC". Maybe he still is but he hasn't recruited or brought a defense.His name popped into my head 5 minutes before I read your post. Wins several games he is supposed to lose, but can sometimes fail spectacularly in games where he should be competitive. And hasn’t recruited Florida, or the Southeastvin general. I’d pass on him, but I can’t count on stricklin to do the same
His offense at Clemson got him fired.I've seen it mentioned that the OC/qb coach at coastal , Willy Korn was his qb @ Clemson. Maybe he'd bring him in?
I hate Mummeball so if those are the last two candidates on the planet, go with Syphilis I guess.If Kiffin beats Leach, are you willing to change camps?
It's tough times for the Mullenz suckers.Not excited about anything that Stinklin said. I would be shocked if we hired anyone remotely competent or even better than MuLLLLLLenzez.
Depressing times.
I giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming that is sarcasm.I think we need to hire a true Gator head coach: Gene Chizik.

I used to loath Lane Kiffin. He was a jerk, spoiled brat, and cocky. But I have seen a change in him that I could not explain until now.I never used to like Kiffin but he has changed "personally". And though several on here can't stand to talk about such things...He's different since FAU.
What I like about Kiffin is he is adaptable, offensive minded, seems to select a good staff and can RECRUIT
Fixed that for you.
@Mornengswede: I'm sure you're not reading this because by now you've been banned for your impertinence, but that was one of the best, most cutting-through-the-bullsh*t posts I've ever seen on this site. Bravo! I tip my cap to you and wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors.1. Must have been a false accusation. Everyone known Urban Meyer never cheats and never lies. Really though, he accused Meyer of calling a recruit when he was visiting UT. His story is much more plausible than the counter story that he was “mistaken.” But Kiffin screwed up because he mentioned the recruit by name. That got him in trouble. Fooley demanded an apology and Kiffin complied. He actually apologized. So his ethics here compare favorably to Urban Meyer, based on what we now know about his capacity for contrition and coming clean.
2. Leaving Tennessee for USC is such a massive red flag. Who would do such a thing? /sarc. Of course, if he didn’t, some posters here would use that as evidence that he was happy working in a hopeless dump and didn’t really have the desire to win big at a real big time program. So a bit of a catch 22 there.
3. Carroll ran away from a sinking ship. USC on probation and scholarship limitations is what Kiffin inherited. That 2011 class which signed just over a month after Kiffin took the job— Carroll’s last class— finished 3rd with 29 signees including 1 five star and 14 four stars. The 2012 class— Kiffin’s first— had only 17 commits, due to Carroll’s sanctions, but has 1 five star and 11 four stars, a far better blue chip ratio. The 2013 class— Kiffin’s second and last— had only 12 commits, again due to Carroll’s sanctions, with 4 five stars and eight four stars.
That’s 5 five stars in two heavily restricted classes, as many as UF has brought in over the last 8 years.
What other moral turpitude complaints do we have?
Not getting along with Al Davis? Ha! Snort. Being his buddy would be a far bigger red flag.
Rumors about banging chicks? That’s what nerds do when they feel threatened by attractive men: bad mouth them for all the sex they imagine they must be having.
Anything else?
I used to loath Lane Kiffin. He was a jerk, spoiled brat, and cocky. But I have seen a change in him that I could not explain until now.
Here is one of his quotes, “I don't like to focus too much on my past, because then it stops becoming your past and starts to become your present,” he wrote. “However, my story is a special exception, because it shows people that it's never too late to rediscover God, and that we can overcome anything in our past. I like to tell people these days, if God can forgive you for whatever you have done, then why can’t you! I’m proof.”
Is he still cocky? Yes!
Does he still tick people off? Yes
But, I like his SOS cocky attitude fitting in at Florida! I think he would turn us around!
